Account and access

Set up your account and keep access safe.

Payments and billing

A payment method is required to launch.

Plans and pricing

Choose by memory and pricing mode.

What to pick

Quick examples to decide.

Launch an instance

Guided flow to launch in a few steps.

Go to /launch.

Pick a plan or custom mode.

Select pricing mode.

Confirm and launch.

Wait for Provisioning → Running.

Manage instances

Full control from /instances.

Access to GPU (Jupyter / SSH)

Secure access via Jupyter or SSH. Clodei uses SSH keys (not passwords) and includes a simpler browser-based key generation flow per device.

Go to Settings -> SSH keys, choose a clear device name (for example: windows-wsl, macbook, linux-laptop), and click "Generate and save for this device". Clodei stores only the public key; the private key is generated in your browser.

Download the private key and note the displayed SHA256 fingerprint. The fingerprint helps you confirm you are using the same key later if SSH returns "Permission denied (publickey)".

If you use WSL and downloaded the key in Windows, copy it into ~/.ssh and restrict permissions. OpenSSH on WSL commonly rejects keys used directly from /mnt/c/... because permissions are too open.

WSL (move key into ~/.ssh)
mkdir -p ~/.ssh
cp /mnt/c/Users/<your-user>/Downloads/<your-key> ~/.ssh/<your-key>
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/<your-key>

In /launch, enable SSH. Launch automatically preselects the default key for this device (or the last one you selected). Confirm the fingerprint before launching.

From the instance details page, use the SSH command shown by Clodei. It should include -i with your private key path. Replace <your-key> and <ssh-host> if you copy the example manually.

SSH (Cloudflare Access + private key)
ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=30 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 -o ProxyCommand='cloudflared access ssh --hostname %h' -i ~/.ssh/<your-key> clodei@<ssh-host>

If you see "Permission denied (publickey)", the instance usually started with a different authorized key. Compare the instance fingerprint with your local key fingerprint and relaunch selecting the correct key in Launch.

  • Jupyter is preinstalled and opens with token.
  • SSH is available if the plan includes it and requires a public/private key pair.
  • Instance SSH username is fixed: clodei.
  • The SSH command shown by Clodei includes -i (private key path).

Data and storage

Storage is local to the instance.
